I have some problems about installation and use of AF 1.5pre3:

I compile with NO_ICON_BACKGROUND (more nice)

In ../src/afterstep:
--------------

1=B0) In Makefile (i'm not sure):
     I have to remove the two #ifdef NO_ICON_BACKGROUND (in SRCS and
OBS),
     otherwise i obtain an error, and i can't compile.

2=B0) I have to modify two files:

    a- borders.c

      line 249:

       #ifdef NO_ICON_BACKGROUND
                   else if ((t->flags & ICONIFIED) (!(t->flags &
SUPPRESSICON)))
                      w =3D t->icon_w;
       #endif

       I can't compile because i obtain error, so i modify the line such
as:

       #ifdef NO_ICON_BACKGROUND
                   else if ((t->flags & ICONIFIED)  !=3D (t->flags &
SUPPRESSICON))
                      w =3D t->icon_w;             /* -^^^ - */  i replac=
e
"(!" with   "!=3D" and i suppress ")"
       #endif

       and it work,    BUT IS IT CORRECT ?


      b- icons.c

         line 292:

         }                 (before line 294: /* resize the icon name
window */

         I can't compile because i obtain error (parse error before
...). So i remove it, and

         it work,        BUT IS IT CORRECT ?

  3=B0) I'm unable to change the color of FOREGROUND and BACKGROUND of th=
e
icons
       For example, i iconify a program (such as
xiterm).                            OOOO
       I obtain an icon (pixmap) named "xiterm" (under the
icon).               O     O   -> pixmap

OOOO
       HOW can i change the color of the text,
                                                 and the background of
the text ?           [xiterm] -> text

   4=B0) The mini-pixmap give a very good look for then menus items, but:
        for the folders, they are drawed very near of the border (and
sometimes
        they are drawed out of menu items (for the last part of the
pixmap)

         I use pixmap 15x15.

         Can i change that (without redraw with gimp, and cut the right
part of the pixmap) ?

    5=B0) My update start menu doesn't work fine:

         I have to erase my ~/GNUstep/Library/Af... /tmp/startmenu.
         I run "update startmenu" ... I obtain startmenu of
/usr/share/afterstep
         I run again startmenu and i obtain a new startmenu file in ...
~/GNUstep/Library/Af .../tmp

         Is it the right way ?

    =20
     6=B0) Scripts:
     =20
           The module script doesn't run: i have a message:
            =20
              unable to open the XXX script (or program).
             =20
              But the path is ok: somebody have the same problem ?


     7=B0) With xiterm and -pixmap:

           I wasn't able to get a pixmap wich will no be redraw (on a
bad way) when
           i resize the xiterm window.

           But i find a new solution: choose a 64x64 pixmap, and when
you resize the
           xiterm window, the background (pixmap you choose) resize
fine.

    =20
     8=B0) I lose my glasses at home, and i doesn't now where i can .....
OOUPS ... sorry ...


     Thanks for the AfterStep's TEAM, for their work, and for a so
pretty and good

Window Manager !
